Date Sold 11/18/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Sob Sister, the 1931 Alfred Santell newspaper journalism romantic crime melodrama ("from novel By Mabel Gilman"; about a female newspaper reporter who constantly gets in trouble, and her rival at the newspaper, who naturally falls in love with her) starring James Dunn, Linda Watkins, Molly O'Day, Minna Gombell, Howard Phillips, and Wally Albright (six years old and later a member of Hal Roach's "Our Gang"!). Note that this was Linda Watkins' first movie, and she had the co-starring role. She had previously acted in Broadway shows, and Hollywood was searching for stage actors for their sound movies, and she seemed a natural. She appeared in six movies between 1931 and 1933 (and she had the lead female role starting with her very first movie!), but her stage success did not translate well to the screen, and she had married in 1932 and began having children, and she retired from making movies in 1933 (and she returned to the Broadway stage, and she was a voice-over regular on the popular 1930s radio series "Gangbusters"). After her three children had grown in the late 1950s, she returned to the screen, mostly appearing on TV as a character actress! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: poor. There are areas of paper loss around the edges of the card, but most of it is in the blank borders or the background. There is a piece in the top left corner which is mostly detached. There are tears in the left of the card and there is much surface paper loss in the face of the girl at lower left. The card is in urgent need of expert professional restoration. Please do not bid on it unless you have carefully studied our super-sized image, and can either accept the card's many defects or be willing to pay to have them properly restored.
